Chapter 10

He kept on calling me for the next 6 days..
I couldn't help but feel butterflies every time he called.
 
He told me some things about him. Like his age, where he works, and his family.
 
He's 24 years old. He just left his previous job in a bank and started working in his family's business, to help his dad. Also because eventually he and his brother are eventually taking over the company. His parents are divorced, but he loves both his parents both so much. He lives with his mom, but every couple of months he stays with his dad for a whole month. He has an older brother, A7med 31, and an older sister Lulwa  29, both married. He's the youngest.
 
I felt happy that he told me about his parents. I mean no one would tell a stranger that, especially after only 6 days of talking, but he still did. He said enah erta7 ley, o ey7s ygdar eygooli everything. And I felt the same way, but I didn't tell him.
 
We kept on talking about random things all night and kept on laughing the whole time.
 
He's very sweet and kind.
M2dab and mu7tarm.
Y7trmny and he complements me every minute
Mltzm eb 9alatah
basically, he's everything Khalid isn't.
 
But he still didn't tell me mn wain yab ra8my and he refuses too... -_-
 
 
Fahad aside.. What am I supposed to tell my friends now???!
Ana mb mt3wda a5sh shay 3alaihm!
Yeah it’s only been 6 days, but still, I have to tell them.
 
I texted them all saying to come over to my house and chill.. They all said yes.
 
The day went by and I was getting more nervous by the second. Ma3rft shlon aft7 el mw'9oo3 wagolhm!!
But I know I have too!
Plus I need some advice about what to do because...
 

 
 
 
I think I kinda like him....
 

 
 
 
I know it’s too soon and I'm crazy, but I can't help the way I feel!

 
 
It's 4:30 pm and the girls started showing up!
 
We sat in the living room. Tmaina ensolif and kept on eating junk like crazy!
Off course all I'm eating is icecream! Every1 that knows me knows how much I LOVVEEEEEE icecream!
 
Suddenly I took a breath and said
 
Me: Girls I need to tell u something..
 
Noora: Acting serious? Tara maynsb hahahaha
 
Me: La la Noora! I'm not joking I need to tell u girls something.
 
Sarah: Gooooolay! Shfeeeech g3da et5r3eeny!!
 
Me: But first promise me u will listen to me WITHOUT interrupting until I finish.
 
Samar: Ok we won't yalla talk.
 
Me: And NO judgment!
 
Noora: U know we don't judge each other, yalla golay..
 
Me: Ok.... (Deep breath)..  So on my birthday.........

 
I told them everything that happened from A to Z.
And just like I expected, they interrupted me alf marrah and zfoony cuz I didn't tell them.

 
Sarah: waaaay Maryoom! Ya 7'6ch! Eyanin!!!!
 
Noora: Sarah! Shfeeech ynaitay
 
Noora was always the protective one out of us!
 
Samar: 9ij I don't know him bs 7saitah rayal m7trm!
 
Me: waaaaay Samoor! Mat9wreeeen shkther!!
 
Noora: ok Mimii! Bs abeech et7sbeen mnah! Latklmenah wayed! Mt3rfeen what his intentions are.
 
Me: But that's the problem..
 
Sarah: What do u mean?
 
Me: mmmm
 
Samar: Mimii lat5r3eny! Galach shay??
 
Me: La la magaal shay... Bs...
 
Noora: Bs shnw???
 
Me: I think I kinda like him....
 
Sarah: T7melaaaayyy!!!
 
Samar: Eeeeee Mimii!
 
Noora: Mimii don't!!
 
Sarah: I know eyanin o shaklah 6ayeb, bs don't fall for him Mimii! Entay mat3rfeenah!
 
Me (thinking ena it’s too late for what they're saying): I know! A3rf kalmtah for less than a week.. Bs I can't help but feel this way!
 
Samar: Maybe it's because u just got out of a relationship o et7seenah ur rebound.
 
Noora: 5aleeeeeeh rebound! Bs don't have feelings! At least not right now.
 
 
I know what they're saying is right! Thank God I told them!! I love my friends!
 
 
The night went on. We talked about salfat Fahad, and 6b3an tmaina n3ger as usual. O:)
 
 
 
Suddenly I get a text...
I open it and I can't help but smile.
 
Sarah: Akeeeeeeeeed Fahad!! What did he write?
 
I blushed and said nothing..
 
Sarah: Mimii tell us!!!!
 
I smiled and put the phone on my chest and hugged it!
I felt happy... Really happy..
 
Samar jumped on me and pulled my phone. Her and Sarah both looked and my phone..
 
Samar & Sarah: Awwwwwwwwww!
 
 
*text message* Fahad: Hey beautiful.. I miss u..
 
 
Noora said nothing. She didn't even ask what the message said.
 
Samar: Noora read (giving Noora the phone), waaaaaay Maryoom eyanin! Ashkara he likes u!
 
Noora: Samar don't encourage her!!!!
 
I felt Noora was mad at me. So I wanted to say something.
 
Me: Noora.. I know ench 5ayfa 3alay, and I lovee u for that! I appreciate it so much! Adry mb 3jbch el wa'93, bs Noora I'm happy... I haven't been happy for so long. I fake my smiles everyday. And Fahad, even though I don't know him 3adel, he makes me smile. He makes me happy. He made me love who I am again. I didn't feel this way for so long! And I just want u to be happy for me (then I started crying).
 
Noora (came and hugged me): Mimi I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to upset u. Bs aby m9l7tch wallah.

Me (still crying): I hated myself for so long and he's changing that.
 
Noora: Why? And why didn't u tell us? Why didn't u tell ME?
 
Me: Because of KHALID! Karhny eb m3eshty! I wanted to die every day! I wished I would die every day!
 
Noora: Don't say that (then she started crying too, 6b3an Samar cried the minute she saw me crying). Khalid was an ass! And he doesn't deserve u! He never did!!
 
After I calmed down, I looked at Noora and said
 
Me: Give him a chance. Please. Do it for me.
 
Noora: Off course I will.
 
I smiled..
 
Noora: But I wanna talk to him.
 
Me: Ok. But not right now. If this got serious, I'll let u talk to him.
 
 
We had a huge group hug.
Then I took my phone.....
 

*text message* Me: I miss u too!

Chapter 9

I woke up the next day feeling HAPPY!
 
I haven't been feeling happy for so long.
Shlon wa7d ma3rfah, eb mkalmah wa7da, changed everything.
It felt weird. But it was a good/amazing feeling.
 
I didn't know whether I should tell the girls about what happened or not. I mean maybe it was nothing.. But it didn't feel like nothing.
 
The day went by, and all I could think about was Fahad. I kept my phone close to me. Maybe he would text or call again.
 



A week went by..

 
 
No calls, no text..

 
Laish he's not texting? Fe amal I said something wrong?
Or maybe it was a test, yabi eychof etha barwe7 m3ah or not, and maybe I failed!

I was so confused!
 
On the same day, I went over to Noora's, bagy el bnat were coming over as well.
I wasn't talking a lot, I was just staring at my phone. That was all I was doing for the past week.

I didn't know the guy, bs he made me smile, I mean REALLY smile. No one could make me really smile after what I've been through with Khalid.
 
Noora: Maryoom shfeech elyoom mb 3la ba3'9ich?
 
Samar: ee Mimii, ana b3d 7asa feech shay..
 
Me: laa banat mafeeny shay! Bs g3da a7ty 3alay wayed assignments 7ag el jam3a! M3rf shlon bakmelhm.
 
Sarah: wely ey3feech latyebeen 6arey el jam3a! Kel ma I remember I feel I wanna die! A lot of work!
 
El 7amdillah they believed me..


 
I went back home. I was so tired. So I decided to sleep.
 

Lying in bed, I couldn't help but wonder.. Khalid...

Fahad made me forget all about Khalid.. That was shocking!
And after remembering Khalid my mood got even more depressing so I just closed my eyes and went to sleep..
 

I woke up in the middle of the night hearing my phone ringing..
 
I was so tired.. So I let it ring and went back to sleep..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I woke up the next day to the sound of my brother screaming.
 
I got up terrified and rushed out to see what's wrong.. He was arguing with one of his friends.
It looked so serious so I didn't want to ask or say anything.

 
I went back to my room, went into the bathroom to freshen up.
 
I heard my phone ringing again..
It was Samar..
 
G3dna ensolif o we made plans to go and watch a movie.
 
After I closed it I started checking my missed calls..
 
 
 

 
OMG!!!
 

 
 
There it was!
 
 
Fahad's number!
 

He called ams and I ignored his call!!
How could I be so stupid!!!!
 
 
Okay so I didn't pick up.. Now what should I do??
Should I call back?
 

I looked at the time, it was 12 pm. So I decided to wait till 4 pm and call him back

 
 
That was the longest 4 hours of my lifee!!!


 
So now it was 4.. I took my phone and took a deep breath!
I was excited but nervous at the same time!
And I  called back...
 

It kept on ringing...
 
 
And ringing...
 
 
And ringing...
 
 
 
There was no answer...
 
 
Maybe he thinks I ignored him. So now he's ignoring me.
Bs I didn't. I was sleeping! :(
 
God what should I do?!!
I know I don't know him, but I miss talking to him!! :$
 
 

The day went by and it was 6pm.

I picked up Samar and headed to the cinema. Noora and Sarah are gonna meet us there.

While we were in the movie, few guys entered the cinema. My heart skipped a beat! I felt I know one of the guys but I couldn’t see who it was because it was dark.

The movie ended. The lights opened again. We stood up. Suddenly my heart stopped!

It was Fahad!

I can’t believe it! Just my luck!
It can’t get any more awkward than it already is!
I called him and he never called me back.. I mean that's embarssing

I looked at him and he looked back at me. I never felt more embarrassed.

We left the cinema and after I entered the car, I got a text..

*text message* Fahad: you looked beautiful..

Sorry... =(
